Anyone in Dallas-Texas looking for nursing as a second degree??

[Polska]

Hi,

I have a bachelor degree in Hospitality Management and I am working in some Resort right now, but I am considering to go back to shool to get a RN degree, which one is the fastest way to go and where? I am a female 30 years old and I want to be a mom soon so I do not want to spend to much time in school.Maybe we can help each other.Thanks

TWU does have a fast track program but its at the Dallas campus only. All I know is that it is 15 months long. You can go to the TWU nursing website and get more info on it.

There have been rumors of TWU starting a similar program but so far it's just rumor - you might call the Parkland campus and ask. TCU is the only program in operation that I know of.

I've just graduated from TCU's ABT track.

Speed nursing options are:

Just get an ADN. Approx time 2 years after prerequisites, Cost reasonably low. options include many area community colleges.

I know very little about the TWU program, but some of my classmates applied for it. Thinking it's reasonably similar to TCU's program.

TCU ABT program: total time 15 months if you have all the prerequisites. Cost fairly high. 4 semesters of full time TCU tuition, you can check on the TCU website for current prices. I'd bet the TWU program is a similar time & cost as its also a private university.

The Accelerated BSN programs are 4 semesters, but they run May one year to Aug the next, so les calendar months, but also no breaks. Just depends on how good you can work under pressure, your time constraints, and your financial status.

Good luck no matter what you choose!

Hi, I just wanted to encourage you to pursue an RN the bachelors degree route. Even though it may take a little while it is worth it (pay,opportunities, etc). Although there are still a lot of places that higher an level RN you should be aware also that a lot of hospitals/places are starting to only hire new grads with bachelors. My hospital just switched to this...

No matter which way you go, best wishes.
